Are Comodo one of the good guys? Err no - not anymore they aren't - they're now officially (still) supporting the bad guys, as Mike Burgess (MS MVP, and MS MVP Hosts provider) explains;

"secure.a5bill.com" is hosted on the same IP as the following and all the downloads are detected as Win32/Adware.CoreguardAntiviruscoreguard-antivirus. comguardlab2009. bizguardlab2009. netguardlab2009. com (Google Diagnostic report)

So this got me to thinking ... a while back (04-21-09) I reported to Comodo via their secret address a list of sites distributing malicious software ... although I never received a reply as I did when I reported "Conficker systems being updated with SpywareProtect2009" which Comodo had issued a certificate to.

Anyway ... I went back and checked the sites I last reported and it seems Comodo has decided to ignore my report ...

All I can say is Comodo products need NO support at all. If they continue to earn money from this malware/rogue authors by issuing certificate or if their free certificates give them “popularity” (to attract potential paying customers) then how is the fight against rogue/malware will succeed if a known security vendor will do that?

Which is why CoU and LandzDown stop posting updates information on Comodo Internet Security Suite/Free firewall because Comodo, Symantec, Webroot, StopZilla and BitDefender and ZoneLabs have partner with that Ask.com, which as we all know… unwanted and questionable company for continue to push/hosts spyware/adware stuff using different domains or part of their business.
